Self Test: Is Distance Learning Right for You?

Posted by in Uncategorized Oct 17th, 2007

Distance learning isn't right for everyone. It takes a certain type of personality to work at a computer, without anyone to supervise or step in when things aren't going well. That's why one Pennsylvania community college suggests that students take a distance learning self evaluation before enrolling in online courses.

Find out if you're a good candidate by taking the quick ten question exam. If you don't make the cut, consider developing some of these positive self-learning characteristics suggested by the Community College of Alleghenty County:

Self-motivation and working well independently.

Never putting things off (not a procrastinator) but rather staying on target.

Ability to follow directions.

Ability to work well alone.

Good communication when questions or confusion arise.

Good organizational ability.

Happy virtual studies!
